Halloween and new house

Yes, I know, it's been weeks since I last updated this thing...well it turns out that when you have a full time job that often requires lots of outside time to prepare, you don't have time to update blogs! But I do feel bad so I will try and do it more often! The other problem was, however, that my camera is broken and my laptop with a card reader needs a new power cord, so in order to post pictures I have to borrow a camera and a card reader so things can get a little tricky! We will hopefully be fixing all these things this month though. Anywho, what's new with us you may ask? Not much, life is good, school is good, we are having lots of fun.
I had to paint faces at my school's Halloween festival two days in a row, so for the first one we all dressed up like renaissance people. Unfortunately we didn't get pictures of this but we should take some this month since we got free tickets to the Texas Ren Faire (the biggest one in the country, can we say awesome?!) and we are all dressing up of course.
So for the second day of the festival I was on my own since Kenzie wasn't allowed to go to that one (It was for the bigger kids) so I decided to dress up as a Jedi. The kids thought it was really cool, especially when I charged into the festival and started slaying Juniors and High School teachers! It was a blast.
Then during trick or treating on Saturday we had our car battery die so our candy gathering was cut short since we got our car jumped and figured we better go home. I was going to continue trick-or- treating in our neighborhood but Kenzie had crashed in the car and was snoring loudly, so we decided to call it a night. And it was a good thing we came home because the car didn't start up again once we got it there. So Sunday was spent getting a new car battery instead of church, which stunk but we would have been very early to church since I had forgotten about daylight savings time! Here are some pictures of Halloween and our house.
